According to the demersal trawling survey data in the Haizhou Bay and its adjacent waters in autumn of 2011 and 2013−2018, we studied the habitat suitability of Saurida elongata, using biotic and abiotic factors data, such as bottom water temperature, bottom salinity, water depth, resource density, bait biology, collected synchronously. The weight of each environmental factor was determined by using the model of boost regression tree (BRT), and the habitat suitability index (HSI) model was established by using arithmetic mean method and geometry mean method respectively, and the optimal model was determined by cross validation. The results show that the most suitable bottom water temperature range for the Saurida elongata to inhabit in fall was 17.5−18℃, the most suitable bottom salinity range was 31.3−32, and the most suitable water depth range was 24−37 m. Three main bait organisms were selected as biological factors, namely, Loligo spp., Metapenaeopsis dalei and Amblychaeturichthys hexanema. The HSI model was established with the bottom water temperature, bottom salinity and water depth as the influencing factors. The results show that the feed factors contributed most significantly to the total deviation of spatial distribution, followed by the water depth and bottom water temperature. Through cross validation, it is found that the weighted HSI model with arithmetic mean method algorithm has lower Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). The results show that the most suitable habitat (HSI≥0.7) of Saurida elongata in autumn was 34.5°−36°N, 119°−121°E, among which 35°−36°N was the most suitable habitat, and the HSI increased from near shore to sea.
